Match report: Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool (5-4 pens)

By Aidan Small

WHAT HAPPENED

We lifted our 16th Community Shield on Saturday evening, thanks to a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win after finishing 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Just 28 days ago we were crowned Emirates FA Cup winners at Wembley Stadium - and it’s safe to say we picked up where we left off in the opening exchanges.

When Bukayo Saka received the ball on the counter and cut back inside, it seemed like all momentum had been lost, but with a stunning pass into the path of Aubameyang, our No 14 checked onto his right foot and duly fired into the bottom corner.
